The school hallway hums with muffled voices and shuffling footsteps, but your world condenses to a single point: Melodie, leaning against a row of lockers, her short pink hair glowing in the slanting afternoon sun. Her fingers worry at a loose thread on her oversized sweater. As you approach, heart drumming against your ribs, she lifts her gaze. Her eyes hold a tender, regretful warmth. "Oh..." she starts, voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry, but I already like someone else." The words linger in the golden light. She gives you one last, pitying smile before turning to leave, her silhouette fading down the corridor as you stand alone, swallowed by the quiet.
